After a gap of more than four years, the Myanmarese army has once again raided camps belonging to an insurgent outfit in the Northeast, forcing the rebels to vacate the area.
According to some cadres belonging to underground rebel groups in Manipur, the operation was executed some weeks ago in Somra Tract, a region adjacent to Manipur’s Ukhrul district that is inhabited by Naga tribes from the Tankhul community.
“At least two camps were destroyed and burnt by the army but there were no reports of any casualty,” they explained. “Some items like medicines, mosquito nets and whatever foodstuff were available in the camps were carried away by the army after the demolition.”
